when i try to install it on my MoDaCo 3.2 , i get the error if i want to overwrite what ive got..

i press - yes - and then it gives me an error that says that the app could not be installed on this phone..

the same goes for the clicker app..

- i don't have the same problem with other apps..

i tried installing with an - Installer - app

and with Linda..

nothing works..

thanks

delete "HTC_IME.apk" in /system/app and then paste the 2 apk's from the archive to that directory.

have 3.2 modoca rom. doesn't work for me, "adb push"ed them to /system/app, now I get FC of com.htc.androidime (not shure about that extactly :P )

[Guest Xtiro]

I'm on 3.2 and tried adb rm/adb push and now the keyboard is FCing on me. I can get to the settings but that's all. To be fair I haven't much experience with adb so it's possible I messed it up.

it reads that you need 1.6+ because of Voice Input for it, damn. Who actually uses that "feature"?

me, when writing a LONG LONG text, which is like all the time XD

Yeah it worked first time on a 2.1 ROM.

Are the lags gone when you type fast in landscape mode?

That is one of the biggest hero issue for me :P

[Guest masterpfa]

Great keyboard just installed, but the lag seems to have gone, will see how it fares after a few days!

Running CyanogenMOD for Hero

:P

very very very tiny bit of lag with haptic feedback on, but it's barely noticeable.

the right way is:

./adb install -r ./Desktop/htc_ime_jonasl_lowres_19

-r option stand for reinstall (since it's normally already installed (SenseUI ROMs)

THx !

[Guest qpop]

try this:

adb remount

adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app

Failed. Repeated forcecloses.

Modaco 3.2. htc.android.htcime force close loop. Tried installing over the pushed version, more force closes, going to push htc_ime.apk from the modaco zip and hopefully will be ok.

Any more ideas? would love to have the new keyboard

edit: Forgive me if this is noobish but is it to do with MoDaCo ROM being ODEXed?

it might be worth putting a WARNING that file may well not work on modaco 3.2 (which I assume most forum members are rocking.

edit2: It has required a full wipe and reinstall of MoDaCo 3.2 to fix this, a reinstall with no wipe still had repeated forcecloses

-just a warning!

I have been using this keyboard for a few days now on CyanogenMOD for Hero.

I had un-installed the previous Touch input and clicker, before using Astro File manager to install.

Absolutely no problems what-so-ever this keyboard is definitely faster and more responsive than the previous HTC_IME i had been using and the voice input is a dream.

:P

[Guest JamesKing]

Is this still the latest version of the keyboard? Should I have expected to have this by default with VillainRom 6.0?

Cheers,

James

vr6.0 had the modified htc_ime as an incremental ota update, not by default. the current version is v25.

[Guest shenshang]

why are you talking about vr6 on modaco....
